THE EARLY COTTON RECEIPTS
They are Indications of Fruitful
Gatherings Later On,


The cotton which is now being received
in this market gives promise of good yield,
so far as quality is concerned. 1t is part
of the top crop, and of course is not as fine
OF in as good condition as that which will
come in later, but it is fully equal to what
has been received at the opening of the sea-
sons for many years past 1t is nearly all
damp, because the planters do not let it
stay in the boil until it dries out, for fear a
storm will beat it down. 1t is ginned damp,
and comes i'll damp, but that, they say, is
always the case with the first part of the
receipts. About onetenth of the cotton
now coming in is more or less dirty, the
top crop catching the flying dust and re-
tanning it, The factors are very well salts
fled with the indications, and look for a
profitable yield, unless the weather between
now and Sept. is exceedingly unfavorable.

Finding "a stolen Horse.

We clip the following from the Shenan-
doah Progress;
On the 23d day of May, 1888, a valuable
team of horses was stolen from farm near
Accotupk, Fairfax county, Virginia A
few hours after one of the horses returned,
with piece of the halter hanging from its
head The horse had evidently broken
away from the thieves. The whereabouts
of the other horse remained mystery un-
til last week, when it was traced to this
town by q. z. Hart, of Hazleton, Luzerne
county. Mr. Hart got a description of the
horse sometime ago, through an advertise
ment. Later he learned that the horse was
the property of Daniel Seybert, who re-
sides near Berwick, Columbia county.
Seybert's explanation for his ownership
was that he got the horse from his deceas-
ed brother, John. Where the brother got
the horse from could not be learned.
Other facts collected brought Mr.. Hart to
this town. Squire Shoemaker placed a
search warrant in the hands of Constable
Italy" Phillips, who found the horse in
the possession of VIM. Remly. Mr.. Remly
said he secured the horse for trial, with a
view to purchasing it. If the horse did
not meet with his requirements by the 10th
of April he was to return it to Seybert.

PensiOning school Te achers.

The Reading Telegram wants school
teachers pensioned and in their behalf
says A great deal is said about pension
ing public officials nowadays aad the war
veterans, but there is class of hard-work-
ed and deserving public functionlaries who
are seldom if ever thought of in this con-
nection. The public school teacher, when
popular, efficient and acceptable, labors
for the success of the system, and perhaps
devotcs lifetime to diligent and thorough
research and study, the benefit of which is
given to classes of scholars that appear at
recitation. The teachers entire time is
occupied with his work, and there is moth
ing within his mental reach that he does
not appropriate and apply in the course of
his experience. When he becomes old and
infirm he is cast off like old clothing and
left to take care of himself. Why not
place worthy teachers on retired list and
pension them?

An Early Spring Predicted.

That noted seer known as the "old set
.er," who roams the wild woods Of Pike
county, in this state says that the bears,
snakes, possums and other hibernatiug
creatures, as well as the ground hog, are
occasionally making short excursions from
their holes since the I'd of February,
known as ground hog day, and that this
is Il sure indication of an early spring.
Sailors are also great weather prophets,
and they say that the early appearance of
icebergs on the Atlantic ocean in the vi
cinity OF the gulf stream is confederation
of the land prophecies. SO it seems to be
a settled affair that spring and summer
weather will be here in advance of ordin-
airy seasons, matter over which every
body will rejoice.

Letter to senator NIetzgar.

BLooMsBURG, TUESDAY, March 8, 1887.
Hon VERUs II. METzGAR, HARRISBURG
DEAR SIR:-By bill In the lower house,
it Is proposed to cast upon litigants the
burden of maintaining one Of the officers
of our courts, the stenographer. 1t might
as sensibly be proposed to revert to the old
practice of requiring parties to pay the ex-
penses of the jury, or even to ask them to
defray the salaries of the judges. The
theory of our system of government is that
the people bear the load for their mutual
benefit. While the line has not been
sharply drawn in all matters, it has be-
come the accepted practice that the gen.
eral machinery of the administration OF
justice is a public charge; and see no
reason for excepting the stenographer more
than the jury or the judge or, If youplease,
the cle'k of the court or the prothonotary
or any officer of the county, as, for example,
the county commissioner or the commits
sioners' clerk who, though not directly con-
cerned with the Interpretation and the en-
forcement OF the law, is yet an admins.
trative officer charged with duties that re-
late TO the community. The notion that
htigants are merely combatants with whose
quarrel the state has no concern, and who
ought to furnish their own weapons and
material of war, is a notion that non-busi-
ness men in the country are apt to imbibe
from public spirited and zealods guardians
of the county treasury; but it is somewhat
antiquated and open to the suspicion OF
being illfounded An enlightened CON-
monwealth, such as ours is supposed to be,
does not regard every honest difference
between citizens as groundless variance
that they ought to settle at their own ex-
pense without the invocation of the courts,
nor upon the courts as a substitute for the
trial by ordeal or wager OF battle. Every
citizen is directly, as well as collaterally,
interested in the maintenance OF the
courts-includng all necessary and con-
yenent adjuncts-as regularly constituted
tribunals for the determination OF issues;
and he ought not to stultity himself and
iniure his fellow by seeking to throw upon
the individual what belongs to society.
The usefulness of the stenographer do
not understand to be IN question; when
that point is raised, it will be time enough
to discuss it. The bill, virtually conceding
his usefulness, aims at the reliet of the
| county from the tax of maintaining him.
1t is not even worth while to enter here
upon the proof that the employment OF
stenographer for the use of all the courts,
criminal as well as civil, is an economic
measure II i. were true, which 1t is not,
that the present business of the courts
could be oheapller done in the old way
yet not cheapness is the controlling consid-
Grafton, but eifectiveness-certainty, dis
patch il these cost something, that is no
argument for making the individual pay
for the general benefit, Respectfully,
IN. WALKER, Stenographer.
